Police appeal for two people to come forward after death of Melbourne taxi driver

Police have released CCTV images of two people they wish to speak to over the death of Melbourne cab driver, Mohamud Muketar.

The 31-year-old was stabbed last Wednesday in the inner-northern suburb of Fitzroy. It’s believed he finished his shift and was walking home from his shift when he was attacked just metres from his taxi.

Police and paramedics worked on him at the scene, but he was unable to be revived.

An information van has been set up this morning in the area, with police encouraging members of the public to come forward.

The CCTV footage shows a pedestrian and a passing cyclist near the scene before the attack. The cyclist was seen in the area just before police believe the attack took place.

The second witness is a man who was seen walking in the area as Mr Muketar was leaving his taxi shortly before the attack.

A witness has told police they saw a male running from the area where the victim was located. The male is described as being about 183cm tall with a slim build and straggly, shoulder-length hair.
